Chapter 600: Chapter 247: Su Li’s Misunderstanding: Witch Race Nascent Soul Formation Secret Technique (3)

"Also, if I recall correctly, they’ve also been found in the Guiyun Secret Realm and the Cyan Moon Floating Ruins."

Hearing her mention the Guiyun Secret Realm, Xiao Chen immediately recalled the rumors he’d heard back at the Moshi Market.

It seemed he had already missed the opening of the Secret Realm this time.

But that was fine. The Secret Realm had just ended, so perhaps someone had obtained Red Moon Dew inside and was willing to sell it.

The best thing to do would be to make another trip to the Moshi Market and ask around for news.

Besides, it was already the seventeenth of the second month, and a major auction was scheduled to be held in the Tingtao Sea in the third month. He could check there as well.

And aside from Red Moon Dew, he could also try his luck at the auction.

He might just run into the rare materials needed to set up the Nursery Altar.

At this thought, Xiao Chen quickly asked, "Right, what materials are needed to set up the Magic Altar?"

Su Li recited a long list of Spiritual Materials from memory.

The entire Magic Altar’s construction required one hundred and twenty-eight different materials, covering items of all sorts of different attributes.

"Most of them can be acquired with Spirit Stones, but eight of the top-tier Spiritual Objects are exceptionally hard to find."

Su Li ticked them off on her fingers. "First, there are the top-tier Five Elements Spiritual Objects."

"They are the Nine-Petaled Golden Bud, Nine-leaf Cyan Light Grass, Four Seasons Frost Fruit, Spirit Jade Vermilion Bird Pendant, and Guiyuan Divine Stone."

Hmm?

Xiao Chen recognized three of the names. Aside from the Nine-Petaled Golden Bud and the Four Seasons Frost Fruit, he already had the others.

’This is actually quite normal, though. After all, there are only a handful of top-tier Five Elements Spiritual Objects to begin with.’

"That shouldn’t be too hard to find."

He nodded to show he’d memorized them. "What about the other three?"

Su Li was a bit surprised. She had expected that upon hearing this, Xiao Chen would be uncontrollably daunted, just as she had been the first time she heard it.

Because normally, aside from the True Disciples of a few major powers, most Cultivators would find it difficult to obtain even one of these Spiritual Objects, let alone all five.

But to her surprise, he seemed completely unconcerned, as if it was nothing to worry about.

"If it were only these, it would be fine, but there are three more, even more precious Tier Four Spiritual Objects."

Su Li specially emphasized the two words "Tier Four." "The Nine Orifice Clear Jade, the Three Lights Soul Nourishing Jade, and the Earth Mother’s Marrow Jade."

"The Nine Orifice Clear Jade is only produced in the Tongming Secret Realm. It’s incredibly rare and hardly ever circulates in the outside world."

"The Three Lights Soul Nourishing Jade is a Spiritual Object that enhances one’s Divine Sense."

"It’s crucial even for Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and only occasionally does a piece find its way to an auction."

"The eighth item, the Earth Mother’s Marrow Jade, is the most difficult part of the entire Magic Altar. It can only be found as a condensed essence of an Earth Vein within a jade mine, which requires a large number of people to help."

.

Xiao Chen didn’t know about needing people or not, but in any case, he had a naturally-formed piece of Earth Mother’s Marrow Jade in his Vast Sea Ring.

’Looks like the most difficult part is already over.’

’Looks like the Celestial Star Sect was quite generous; they really do keep the good stuff.’

For Xiao Chen, now that he knew of the Nursery Altar technique, he was determined to prepare for it as thoroughly as possible.

Even though the required Spiritual Materials were ridiculously numerous and he might not be able to gather them all in the end, it didn’t matter. At least it gave him a direction for his preparations, and it would serve well as a backup plan.

Of course, Xiao Chen wasn’t going to tie himself down to this one plan.

He planned to collect the Spiritual Materials while also gathering other Secret Techniques for Nascent Soul Formation, advancing on both fronts simultaneously.

Although this approach might lead to him buying some Spiritual Materials for nothing that he might not use in the end, it didn’t matter. When it came to the critical matter of Nascent Soul Formation, Xiao Chen didn’t mind spending some extra Spirit Stones as a safeguard.

’Hoarding Spirit Stones in a Storage Ring, too reluctant to use them—that would be truly penny-wise and pound-foolish.’

He went over the list again in his mind, memorizing the missing items.

Xiao Chen began to contemplate his next course of action.

’The Three Lights Soul Nourishing Jade sometimes appears at auctions. It seems I absolutely can’t miss the major auction in the third month.’

’Tsk, I’ve only been back for a little over a month, and now I have to run all over the place again.’

’Since I have to go out anyway, I might as well leave early and take care of other things along the way.’

’First, I can make a trip to the Moshi Market to try my luck and gather some information about the Red Moon Dew.’

’While I’m there, I can also purchase the more common Spiritual Materials and pick up the latest news.’

’Then, I’ll head to the Tingtao Sea early. I’ve acquired a few things I don’t need, so I can take advantage of this auction to sell them for a high price.’

’Finally, I’ll fill in the gaps, see what’s still missing, and adapt as needed.’

After briefly outlining his travel plans, Xiao Chen was already eager to set off.

He only knew the auction was in the mid-third month, but not the specific date.

So he would have to plan as if it were on the eleventh of the third month.

Considering that the Tingtao Sea was in the east and the Moshi Market was in the north, even with his Escape Speed, the round trip would take at least twenty days.

This meant that, including today, he had about three or four days of buffer time.

It might sound like a lot, but it was always better to be early than late.

To prevent any unexpected delays along the way, Xiao Chen decisively resolved to set out immediately.

He said a simple goodbye to Su Li. Compared to her worry the last time they parted, she seemed much better this time.

She only reminded him, "Collecting these things isn’t something that can be done in a day. You shouldn’t be too hasty."

"When you have time, remember to come back and rest. Don’t forget that the Blood Crystals are still here."
